Presidio Trust Management Plan

The Presidio Trust Management Plan: Land Use Policies for Area B of the Presidio of San Francisco (PTMP) provides guidance for how the park is preserved, enjoyed, and sustained. Published in 2002, PTMP is the overarching policy framework for decision-making at the park, much like a city’s general plan. It was developed by the Presidio Trust with extensive community input during a two year public process. The Plan outlines a strategy for:

• preserving and enhancing natural, cultural, scenic, and recreational resources
• land use, transportation, and infrastructure
• bringing people to the park
• ongoing public input and participation
• funding the Presidio’s operation and long-term care

The Presidio Trust Management Plan has received several awards, including:

• Urban Land Institute Award for Excellence (May 2006)
• American Planning Association, California Chapter – First Place in the category Planning Implementation, Large Jurisdiction (to be presented September 2003)
• National Association of Environmental Professionals – Presidents and National Environmental Excellence Award in multiple categories of Planning Integration and Environmental Management and Stewardship (June 2003)

Presidio Trust Strategic Plan

In addition to the Presidio Trust Management Plan, the organization has also completed a five-year Strategic Plan (FY2005-2009). The Strategic Plan addresses the overarching goals for which the Trust was created: to transform an historic military post into a park, to preserve and enhance its resources, and to support it with revenue from leasing its buildings. The Presidio Trust has four strategic goals that will further its mission:

1. Preserve and enhance the Presidio’s rich historical, cultural, and natural resources

2. Generate revenue and develop philanthropy to support the preservation, enhancement, and operation of the Presidio as a national park

3. Operate, maintain, and upgrade the Presidio’s facilities and infrastructure in an efficient and sustainable manner to support the Presidio as a national park

4. Encourage public use, understanding, and enjoyment of the Presidio
